    How to Accelerate Software Delivery with Agent-Driven Development

    Dan Mason and Michael Carlson - Lead, AI & LLM Practice and Head of Stride Labs, Partner - Stride AI

    Arrow



    We've all witnessed the capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to write code. The majority of the teams have embraced LLM-powered tools like GitHub Copilot. Yet, they've only experienced marginal productivity improvements! This is primarily due to being constrained by the number of "pilots" available. Stride has innovated a groundbreaking method to transcend these limitations. We've developed asynchronous teams of LLM-powered agents that integrate seamlessly with your software development environment, adhering to your preferred practices and patterns. Tasks that could take a developer several hours to code, test, and deploy can now be ready in mere minutes.  Join Stride for an exciting panel discussion where we will unveil case studies, share insights, and discuss best practices for implementing this revolutionary approach in your codebases and workflows.
